Oct 7, 2019Mutazione isn’t a game to beat, it’s a game to play. We too often separate the idea of productive tasks from acts like drinking tea with a friend or trying to grow some flowers. But everything we do, if done mindfully, can be helpful for our own growth if we’re walking the right path. Everyone is their own garden, and Mutazione may make you a little more willing to plant the right kind of seeds for happiness.

Sep 19, 2019But the community itself is the important bit. The characters aren’t voiced, but they feel like they are. The text bubbles are sometimes animated, sometimes shaking with trepidation, sometimes small like a whisper, sometimes big with anger. And each character speaks accompanied by a sound. Miu, who becomes a close friend, is a lithe, cat-like creature with pointed teeth, and she sounds like the delicate plucking of violin strings. Jell-A, a sentient fungoid growth, is the town’s subterranean scientist, and his voice is squishy, but with a side of liquid dripping and bubbling in a glass flask. It’s excellent work.
